Darci’s All About Dogs Resort and Day Spa

Amazing business these ladies are in it for the animals. They are the Best!!!
Wonderful to have such caring devoted staff and such an awesome facility… Great People Great Place…

My dogs have never looked better, grooming is outstanding and they do take good care of dogs. I highly recommend Darci and her crew. You will not be disappointed.

Darci groomed (and boarded a few times!) my sweet baby for years! She understood my dog was anxious and did not do well with all of the other dogs, and she took care of and loved her as her own. Did I mention she gave the CUTEST haircuts?! After moving, it took us years to find someone we liked half as much as Darci. There’s a reason it’s always a packed house!

Best place in the city by far… Darci and Melissa have such an amazing passion for all animals and are always looking at how to help unwanted doggies. I love the work they do and would recommend this business to anyone

As the owner of the 4 dogs that «Kim N.» mentioned in her review, let me add some details. Yes it did get quite crazy with me trying to get my dogs out of the narrow path and out the door as other people were trying to come in. I’m sure it didn’t occur to Kim N. to step outside in order to let me pass but that would have been better than standing in the way with her ‘obviously’ scared dog. The workers were efficient in getting her dog taken care of and she could have talked to Darci about any concerns while waiting, instead of waiting until the end to chastise them.
Anyway, Darci is an animal lover who takes great care of the animals in her charge. She is often booked full and can’t always just fit animals in with little notice, which is part of the reason why dogs who *are* fit in will be handled in a quick and efficient manner. My dogs have grown up with Darci, going to her daycare and overnight boarding for years now. Her employees are super sweet and wonderful with the dogs too. Take the time to make a reservation and get to know her, you won’t be disappointed.

Darci’s all about dogs but definitely not about customer service.
I called ahead for a simple nail trimming and they told me to come on by. After I walked past the doggy gate I got caught between a owner with 4 various sized dogs leaving. It was a little crazy and my dog was obviously scared so I tried to step out of they way to let them pass. Then one of the workers pushed through the frenzy and picked up my dog and took her directly to the back without saying a word to me. I was able to see that they were clipping her nails so I just waited back at the front standing by a lady I assumed was Darci, who also didn’t say a word to me. When they brought my dog back I said to the girl «Next time please let me know what’s going on before you grab my dog and take her to the back.» Darci cut in and said «What do you mean? You called ahead and told me you were coming. When it’s crazy like this we need to just get it done.» I said, «I’m not trying to cause any issues right now, I’m just saying next time I just want to know what’s going on.» And Darci snapped back «Fine. How about there is no next time, just don’t come back.» She then proceeded to take my payment and left her hand dangling with my card with her back to me. Real mature.
Of course I won’t come back. She clearly does not give a f**k about her customers. I very calmly expressed my concern and deliberately gave them a chance to rectify the problem. Maybe I’m overprotective of my dog? But who isn’t — I would expect Darci being a «dog lover» would empathize with my worry when someone just snatches her baby away without a word. Just a simple «Hi, nail trim right?» would’ve suffice. I guess decency is too high of an expectation nowadays. But I’l give her the benefit of the doubt — maybe she is doing just fine with her repeat customers and is not interested in growing her business? That would explain it.

What a neat place! I took Oliver, my 6 month old boxer, there today for an assessment and was just so thrilled to find a place that loves him as much as me. Darci is so friendly and noticeably passionate about what she does. This will def be Oliver’s new home away from home.

First of all, it appears that it’s «rate your dog’s groomer day» for me!
Really, all I can say since I no longer live in Houston is just how great Dacri and this shop is. I loved taking Muffin in because she got to run free and play all day. I miss this whenever I take her to her current groomer here in San Antonio. There are no caged, miserable dogs in here! The little dogs and big dogs are separated and get to play behind a white picket fence and oh my lord the décor of this place is so cute. There are day beds and couches and chairs and cutsie rugs everywhere. It’s really somewhere that you can feel confident that your dog will be well taken care of and even a bit spoiled.
I was so sad when I moved about not being able to take my little one here anymore, but hey you do what you gotta do. If you’re in the Houston area, take your baby to Darci’s! It really is a great experience for the dogs. Muffin always came home clean, groomed and pooped from all the playing she did with the other little guys!
If I could give her more than 5 starts I would!
